I find it somewhat amusing that everyone thinks TA is all about spikes. — Tycn (talk*pvxcontribs) 07:22, 18 December 2007 (CET)
- Its not that TA is about spikes, its that I love spikes and don't play TA.—

- Dom mesmers are also somewhat missuited to TA, a GvG tag would probably get you further. — Tycn (talk*pvxcontribs) 07:30, 18 December 2007 (CET)

Knockdowns do more killage. Tycn 01:31, 20 December 2007 (EST)
GvG this bar is fine, the only real problem is the long cast time. Shouldn't matter much since GoE allows you to cancel as much as you want iirc. Tycn 02:32, 20 December 2007 (EST)
- The real problem is that if your team was spiking it would be hard to cancel it and still sync the spike. — PwnzerisSantas 02:52, 20 December 2007 (EST)

For what I know only glyph of lesser is bugged. Still, Gale > Earthquake, with 1/2 cast time you can also use it as an interupt and spam it hellalot more. -

Drop shame for MoD. GoE allows you the best of the best. --Readem
- Needs gale imo. that might also make up for only 1 interrupt being on the bar, since gale on a mesmer is still good enough for aegis, diversion, ressigs, and just about anything else if you can anticipate it, on top of being a short snare, or a way to remove a character from the picture for a couple seconds. I think Earthquake is just too long a cast. Yes, I know you can cancel spam with your glyph, but the problem is it will be much harder to get it to come at a good time. Still, I suppose it could be nice in VoD or something for archer balls. Pluto 03:59, 23 December 2007 (EST)
You sacrifice a lot to be able to use earthquake, elite included. Why don't you consider Cry of Frustration paired with Glyph of Lesser Energy? The interrupt is area-wide and still does damage (albeit less). You could use Mantra of Recovery and spit out interrupts 33% faster for example. Food for thought. --Eyekwah 04:55, 18 January 2008 (EST)
- Knockdown = everybody useless for 2 seconds. — Teh Uber Pwnzer 06:32, 19 January 2008 (EST)
- If that were the focus, go all out. Make an earth elementalist build with Earthquake and Dragon's Stomp with Glyph of Energy to keep off the heavy exhaustion and energy upkeep. You'd get to cast it every 10 seconds without any cost to you energy-wise. Knockdown = everybody useless for 2 seconds? That means if enemy spends 2 out of every 10 seconds on their asses, you've got yourself what they call an advantage. At that point, if you want to add interrupts, couple it with Cry of Frustration, and you've got yourself a decent 'area of effect' interrupter. --Eyekwah 18:41, 20 January 2008 (EST)

This is what iv'e been running ever since the update. The synergy between EQ and DS is great with GoE.Squirrel 14:00, 7 February 2008 (EST)
Yes, not anymore though. Recharge reverted.Squirrel 11:47, 9 February 2008 (EST)
Dragon's stomp is bad, only eruption is still worth taking. - Unexist 07:30, 16 February 2008 (EST) I ment dragons + earthquake, since you can risk the 5 sec extra recharge.
Cursed in Any Language [CiaL] actually ran an Earthquake + Dragon Stomp Mesmer in the January Monthly and got Silver capes. I don't think it's that good. Zuranthium 02:33, 4 March 2008 (EST)
Kinda off-topic
Is Glyph of Energy gud at heroes? I'm kinda intending to TRY a GvG-build in PvE. Thanks in advance, plx no flamez okthxbai.

Energy?
While GoE negates the cost of earthquake, the rest of bar is still very energy-heavy. Might relieve a bit of it with Power Drain instead of PSpike, or shame instead of some other skill?. Zyber 16:24, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- The point of GoE is that you don't need Inspiration. However, on another note, PLeak is probably better than PSpike. — Rapta (talk|contribs) 16:45, 4 March 2008 (EST)
- Pleak was changed to Pspike after the nerf, but was never changed back after the rebuff. About GoE: its not only used for Earthquake. — Teh Uber Pwnzer 18:13, 4 March 2008 (EST)
